The Heart Asks Pleasure First by Karuna Ezara Parikh
5.0

I wept under the moonlight after finishing this book because a) I didn't want it to end b) it broke my heart c) beautiful book like this are rare to find. 'Love conquers all' - be it religion, country or war. I didn't expect it to be what it is before started reading it. It was so poetical and the sentences were lyrical that I had to read every paragraph that caught my attention twice or thrice before moving to the next paragraph. More than Daya and Aaftab's relationship, I loved Daya's parents' relationship more. Omg! Their bond was so beautiful especially Daya's mother. (Mind you the characters in this book will set you high expectations for every possible relationship
